I'm installing what looks like the exact soap dispenser in your video. The instructions that came with it are very poor. Your video made it very clear. In particular, I though I had to screw the pump assembly in to the top, but your video showed that all I had to do was push it in. Thanks so much!
Nice job. Suggestion for top refilling: put about 12 oz of soap in a glass jar or measuring cup. Loosely cover. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave for 30 seconds. Pour in carefully from top. Nuking will liquify the wax in the soap somewhat facilitating easy pouring. Wait until it cools, obviously, before using.
I thought I had to finally replace mine after 8 years and then I watched this. I went and checked the nut underneath and found that it wasn't tight. It must have loosened over time and I didn't realize it. Bingo, everything works again!! I'm going to get a washer like yours to keep it from loosening.
When you were tightening the nut with the needlenose pliers, I did see the whole assembly turning, rather than just the nut. Would be better if someone up top was holding the assembly with Channel Locks (and a rag of course, so as not to mar the finish) so you could get a nice secure fit before screwing the bottle in. This is what I am dealing with on someones half arsed installation, the lock nut was never properly tightened down and has unscrewed itself halfway down the threads. Good video anyway. Just my two cents. UPDATE: Got under the sink a few days back, the homeowners son had screwed the locknut on upside down, that eventually worked it's way halfway down the threads. With the homeoner holding the assembly up top, I was able to thread the locknut up and tighten securely with a basin wrench. Would have been very difficult with out this. Screwed bottle back in, reinstalled new pump and it works great, now. P.S. no garbage disposal in the way, tg.
Mine looks exactly like yours, has worked nicely for many years (25?). It stopped working, so I took it apart and no matter if it is soap or water, it won't pump. What part do you think I have to replace? Your installation video is excellent.
Can you help me? My pump won’t work anymore, yet when I take it out from the top of sink and I put the tube in a glass of water the water will come through but not the soap.
Sometimes when you run the pump without soap it will not pull soap in. Try putting soap directly into the bottom of the pick up tube while holding it upside down.
I have gone through 3 of these. I keep buying them cause they seem are durable. However, they usually fail pumping soap after a few months!!! Any of you had this problem and have a solution.
OOOPS it turns out that piece already screwed in there is the "top" of the bottle I was missing. Does anyone know where we can get LARGER bottles with that small top? I feel like the bottle is way too small as much as I wash my hands.
you can also get the first couple threads started, go back on top and lift the soap dispenser flange until the nut is touching the bottom of the granite. If you slowly turn it, the friction of the nut touching the bottom of the granite countertop will keep it in place as you thread it righty tidy from the top you can actually tighten it from the top with just your bare hands so from underneath all you have to do is just get one or two threads started

Your instruction is more detailed and better than the original one from the dispenser I bought. Thank you.
Glad it helped

Thanks for the clear explanation
and clear, close-up video. I'm ready to install mine now.
Glad it helped
Perfect, loved you demo. I didn't get instructions with my dispenser so this video was invaluable Thanks so very much.
Glad it was helpful!
You indicate that the white and black washers go on the top of the counter. Per Meon, the white goes on top and the black under the counter.
Thank you so much helping me install my soap dispenser. I was having a hard time figuring it out until I watched your video ❤️😊
Glad I could help!
Thanks! You saved my marriage!
Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for your video. What brand did you install? Love your 4-legged helper!
I think it was Moen but I'm not positive. Yes my dogs just love to watching me work.
Can I replace the hand sprayer with a soap dispenser?
Yes you can
can you link this soap dispenser? i want to buy the exact one. thank you!
Thanks
Welcome
Definitely was a two man job for my sink. Access and arm reach were my issue lol
Thank for watching. I'm happy to help.
Would have been nice if he mentioned that first! 🤣

You're right, it's a good idea to hold the assembly still to make sure you get a tight fit. Thanks for the tip!
Do I need to install a new kitchen sink if mine isn't compatible with it?

You will most likely have to buy the whole assembly.Thanks for watching.

The soap does go through the tube but will not come out through spout.
thank you! turns out i had assembled my gasket on the wrong side!
Jimmy the car guy 😀
Thanks for watching.
I just finished installing this pump and it’s not dispensing. 😮
I have gone through 3 of these. I keep buying them cause they seem are durable. However, they usually fail pumping soap after a few months!!! Any of you had this problem and have a solution.
That is unusual. What brand are you buying?
So I did all that and the bottle must be missing a part because it doesn't screw on underneath :( I love your doggie!!!
OOOPS it turns out that piece already screwed in there is the "top" of the bottle I was missing. Does anyone know where we can get LARGER bottles with that small top? I feel like the bottle is way too small as much as I wash my hands.
They are alway watching me work.
If its moen. Its garbage
Sorry but not all Moen is garbage. It depends what you buy. Thanks for watching.
